| Jun 13, 2016 at 20:56 | comment | added | user42272 | @Hilmar we can agree to disagree. OP's choice though and I'm just saying that's where someone might come from if they want to pursue an issue like this. | |
| Jun 13, 2016 at 20:42 | comment | added | Hilmar | @djechlin : If this would involve fraud, stealing, safety issues, heath threats or strong discrimination, I'd be totally with you. But a stupid but probably not malicious breach in confidentiality doesn't make the cut line for me. Not even close. | |
| Jun 13, 2016 at 16:23 | comment | added | user42272 | @Hilmar many people experience a sense of justice or moral duty. They don't like letting other people get away with malicious, even criminal, actions taking against oneself, especially if that person may continue harming others in the exact same way. | |

| Jun 13, 2016 at 15:56 | comment | added | Magisch | @djechlin Maybe to avoid being sued for at least 6 figured and getting criminal charges for neglegience when not adressing such a confidentiality breach. | |
| Jun 13, 2016 at 15:39 | comment | added | user42272 | Why on earth do you think HR of a company you no longer work for is interested in helping you? | |
| Jun 13, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | Hilmar | @Magisch: that maybe the case, but if the manager is fired: what good does this the OP? In most countries it's a real downside being associated with a legal action that got your previous boss fired. | |
| Jun 13, 2016 at 13:15 | comment | added | Magisch | @Hilmar In my country, criminal charges for misuse of personally identifiable information as well as immediate termination for cause of the manager | |
| Jun 13, 2016 at 13:14 | comment | added | Magisch | @kl78 To be honest in most companies in my country that manager would face a PII abuse criminal charge and immediate termination. At that point I don't think anyone may have to fear his retribution or ill will. | |
| Jun 13, 2016 at 13:13 | comment | added | kl78 | What about the colleagues which told him this? If you document their messages and sent them to HR (without asking them), they can get in trouble with the manager or company. If you dont name the source, you dont have a reliable document, you have no proof at all. And I dont think it will be ok for the colleagues to be mentioned in that process, at least that would be how I fould feel about it if I wanted to stay at the company. | |
